When applied to respondents/responses, anonymity means that a person’s identity cannot be determined from the response information held in BOS. The anonymity of BOS survey responses ultimately depends on the survey design decisions made by the survey author.

Where pre-population parameters have been used, a malformed link is a link that attempts to insert pre-populated answers into the survey that do not match the associated questions. Where pre-population parameters have not been used, a malformed link is a link that attempts to use an external service to track respondent activity.

A limit on how many responses your survey can receive. If you set a maximum responses number, your survey will close when that number of responses has been submitted (regardless of the closing date you have set for your survey).

Where a list of respondents has been set up using survey access control, every respondent has a unique personalised URL which is comprised of the survey’s public URL plus the respondent’s token. Personalised URLs can be provided to respondents to allow them to access the survey without having to enter a username and password.

The pages, questions, and notes in the survey and the order in which they appear (including routing, validation and dependency settings). The survey structure does not include the results, nor does it include any uploaded files, images or survey access control information.

A modified version of the Analyse Summary report (where e.g. a filter has been applied or a cross tabulation has been run) that has been saved and given a name. Users in an Organisation account can share views with other users.
